Hahaha. The Transfer List is always lurking in the background.
I think what it is, is on the semis, once setup to my liking, my eye and head fall into the ‘right’ place. Then I shoot quite well.
With an OU it’s a different story. Not bad but then not as good as the semis. Been the same across...
Yes I have moved my head placement which brings my eye to the right position. I now shoot and hit well and have done for quite some time. No other issues.
I guess last night it was the first time I’d laid them down side by side and was just commenting on the obvious differences.
That’s all.
They do as I had to shim them down and cast to the right.
What I’m saying is without the shim and extra length on the pads etc the guns do not fit me.
They all do now but I was pointing out how different the overall length is between them.
The autos are longer and fit the easiest.
It does on the view.
My eye is higher on a shorter barrell.
Add length and it is better.
Just highlighting that my semis are far longer than I thought compared to the 694 which needs an extra spacer to bring my eye into line.
Simple thing really.
I have -
Beretta 694 32”
Beretta A400 Xcel sporting 30”
Beretta A400 Upland 30”
As you can see from the two photos. With the end of the stocks lined up the 694 is substantially shorter.
When you line up the end of the recoil pads it still is but not so much.
I am 6’3”...
I too like the idea of raised ribs etc. However I find they tend to come with a Monte Carlo stock, which does not fit me. Puts my eye way too high. If you can mount one and it fits I’d be a little jealous for sure.
I did suspect an ever such slight optimum cross over point.
However there is the. The immediate question of how much of a deviation, if at all significant, is there before and after that sweet spot?
Of course there are multiple world champions with O/U so this really is a question about...
I was going to Google this but decided to see what you guys think first.
How do two barrels work vrs one?
An O/U surely will have a different POI as they are approx an inch or two apart? So therefore different. Physics then dictates that the lower barrel will shoot lower than the upper barrel...
Does anyone have one of these?
Real life ownership.
The Sport not the Field version.
Intrigued by it and the shim system which is a huge bonus.
I am asking after the sport specifically, not all the aluminium version field gun.
I have read many comments about the 828 but these always seem...
I saw the flyer in my rfd saying they were now on TriggerTraders. Suggests there is a push to add more to the platform. Either way I too looked and liked it. Good to have options.
Well the idea would be one that doesn’t do as you say. To prevent cartridges being flung all over the place whilst doing a good job would be handy. Nobody is saying ‘let’s just use one regarless’.
I always question how I'm doing things until I get it right. Chokes is an interesting one. This may be of use, hope the dashing member on the forum doesn't mind me putting the link up -
